I just have a few questions to get a little bit better of an idea. How long have you been on this new workout schedule? Also, how frequently did you weigh yourself between those fluctuations?

I also really crave salt and my weight fluctuates a lot because of it. I do try to watch my salt intake through the food diary, but it's tough! I good way to help reduce your salt intake is to reduce your processed foods. Canned soups, frozen dinners, etc. have a lot of added sodium. It's much easier to control your salt if you're adding it yourself.

Your fluctuation most likely is a combination of water weight and muscle inflammation from exercising, but without knowing the timeframe, it's hard to say. As long as you're seeing a downward trend over time, I wouldn't raise the alarm. Those of us with thyroid issues have to be patient because it takes so much longer to see a change.

That's great that you're doing all that! I'm a little envious of all that energy!:laugh:

If you keep up the hard work exercising and keeping an eye on your diet, I think you'll find the weight will start to come off. Remember slow and steady wins the race.

Good luck!
